I received Stone Soup before Christmas to review, but unfortunately it got put in with all the board games and forgotten about. Not because it’s a bad game, just because it’s been busy! Stone Soup is actually a really fun game for the kids to play. I love that it’s a game that the kids don’t actually play against each other, rather they play against the game itself. There are no winners which is really good for Little Man’s age. He hates playing games and losing.
How to Play:
From the classic tale of cooperation comes this simple game where players work together to “cook” a soup by making matches of ingredients. Match all of the ingredients before the fire under the kettle goes out and everyone wins! Turn all cards face down on the board. Players take turns turning 2 cards face up. If they match, place the 2 cards in the kettle area of the board. If they do not match, turn them face down. If a player turns a Fire Out card face up, the Fire Out card is placed on the fire area. If 10 Fire Out cards are placed in the fire area before all 12 matches are made, players lose. But wait, there is 1 magic stone card that can turn any Fire Out card face down again on the board. Players decide together when to use the magic stone card to help keep the soup cooking!
Unlike other memory games, the kids are able to work together to find matching pairs. It’s really nice to watch the kids work together! The game is for ages 5+ and for 2-6 players. Little Man is 3 and he likes to play with his big brother and sister. I love that the instructions don’t come on a separate piece of paper for the kids to lose. It is printed on the inside of the top cover of the box. Everything about this game is colorful and fun.
